An I feeding the right amount?

[Robertn22]

Hey guys I'm trying to find a chart or just some info make sure I'm feeding my bp the right amount, I feed her a frozen fuzzie every 6-7 days, she takes them right away and I have no problem feeding her. She currently weighs 152 grams, still a baby, when should I start giving her 2?

thanks

Frozen fuzzy what? Frozen fuzzy mouse or frozen fuzzy rat? If it is a frozen fuzzy mouse, you are not feeding her enough. If it's a frozen fuzzy rat, then I would say you could probably begin to move up to frozen rat pup....

For hatchlings, you can feed every 5-7 days.
You can gauge food size by matching the size of the feeder with the largest part/girth of the snake.

Or feed 10-15% of your snake's weight. But be aware that this rule only applies to hatchlings.

I feed her a frozen fuzzie mouse, is one a week not enough?

Fuzzy mice are way too small. get it on regular mice or lg rats fuzzies/small rat pups

Ok I ask because I finished my package of frozen fuzzie mice and need to purchase more, I will go up In size, thanks!

[Robertn22]

What weight would be considered up to a hatchling?

[Robertn22]

So I baught these, each mouse weighs 12 grams measured on my own scale, and they are definitely good size for the biggest part of her body, thanks for the info, she will be getting one every 7 days

That is definitely a much better size! Just FYI, I was told on this forum that rats have more nutrients than mice and once I started feeding my bps rats, they actually started growing. Plus, when your bp gets bigger, you are going to either have to feed more often or switch to rats anyway.

It depends on availability as well, after this box I will try to find the rat pups instead, thanks! I was thrown off by the package since I don't carry a scale on me lol net weight says 45 grams? Total of all 6 mice was like 76 grams
